Yes Dr. Davenport need internal review board (IRB) approval for this study.

According to their website, IRB approval is necessary for human subject research which will result in publication in a graduate or senior student essay or thesis. Failing to follow this requirement might cause the university where the research is conducted would no longer receive the subsidies that given by federal government.
